Russia captures key eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar after two years of resistance

ai generated text

Russian forces have taken control of the strategic hilltop town of Vuhledar in eastern Ukraine, with Ukraine's military confirming its withdrawal from the town. The town's location in the Donetsk region is considered key, and Russia's President Vladimir Putin has stated a goal of taking the entire eastern Donbas region.

    1. Thank God, we evacuated all children. Regarding the 107 people who are still there, it's difficult to reach them and bring them humanitarian aid, drinking water, medicine because an active stage of war is under way.
    2. Fighting is going on within the town, so it is almost impossible to bring in humanitarian aid.

    1. It's painful, Vuhledar or rather those who settled there, drank a lot of blood.

    1. I confidently said that one would have to be a moron to allow our guys to be surrounded, but someone did.

    1. The fact is that this 'balcony' [an apparent reference to Vuhledar's elevated position] was located at the junction of the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk fronts posed a constant threat to the grouping that covered the approaches to Mariupol.
    2. There's really no building intact in Vuhledar anymore and the Ukrainian army has held it heroically for almost two years and had to surrender because they were short on.
